Resolve to Dissolve

I lived outside today

.... for a little while

and wondered why we've grown so determined

to separate ourselves from nature.

My legs crossed beneath me

on weeds and grass and pillowed ground.

The sun at one o'clock.

A distant bark and rattle of a man at work

were notes out of tune

amidst the rhythm of

distinct species announcing themselves in

well trained song.

Where bare skin felt the earth's connection...

feet on soil, sun on face and neck

birds and other sonic wizards

against the exposed filaments of inner ear...

These fused bonds requested

that all my points be exposed 

to any other chorus

which Madam Divine wished to share

So the troublesome layers,

whether blouse or jeans, glasses or stubbon opinions

that stood between my own nature

and nature's nature

were dissolved and at that moment

I was author and audience

of her sublime dance and song

I lived outside today

and shall return
